Any violation of the freedom of speech and expression by a government law or order can be challenged under Article:
(A) 29
(B) 30
(C) 31
(D) 32
Correct Ans: (D)
Explanation:
Citizens invoke Article 32 of the Indian Constitution to protect their freedom of speech and expression when authorities infringe upon it. This article allows individuals to approach the Supreme Court directly and seek justice. The Supreme Court issues writs like habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo warranto to uphold these rights.
Article 29 ensures cultural and educational rights for minorities. Article 30 gives minorities the right to establish and manage educational institutions. The 44th Amendment in 1978 removed the right to property under Article 31 from the list of fundamental rights.
With Article 32, citizens assert their rights and ensure the government does not violate their freedom of speech and expression.
